617 Home Improvement — legally registered as Kitchen and Floor Decor Inc., with locations in Malden and Woburn — does kitchen and bath remodeling and new construction work around the Boston area. Its written record is thin and mixed rather than clearly good or bad. On the positive side, reviews from 2019 through 2022 describe efficient, professional work: one 2019 customer says a full house remodel was 'impeccable' and included them throughout the process, another from 2022 calls the price reasonable for the quality delivered. But those Houzz reviews all landed on three consecutive days in March 2019 — seven years ago — with one posted under a Houzz placeholder username, a pattern that reads more like a review push than an organic history building up over time. The more recent record is worse. A 2023 Google review — echoed almost word-for-word by an undated BBB review from a customer named Valerie H, very likely the same complaint posted twice — describes a mistake pulling shelves out of newly ordered cabinets after a job worth over $10,000, and says the company refused to help replace two missing plugs, telling the customer to take it up with her own contractors instead. There's also a licensing wrinkle worth checking directly: the construction supervisor number the business lists on Houzz, CS-112710, differs by a single digit from the CS-112719 that BBB has on file for the same company — different enough that it isn't simply a typo to wave off. The BBB itself grades the business A+, though it's not accredited and says that grade doesn't factor in customer reviews. Given the thin, review-push-shaped positive history and a credible, detailed complaint about being left without support after a sizable job, it's worth asking pointed questions about both licensing and post-installation service before signing a contract here.
You get what you pay for and nothing more. My contractors had made a mistake in pulling out the shelves in the cabinets 617 Home Improvement ordered for me. I guess my contractors lost a couple of the little plugs to keep the shelves in place. After spending over $10K, you would think 617 Home Improvement would be able to give you a couple extra plugs but No Way - stating it wasn't their problem and that I should address it with my contractors. When I said that if she could just point me in the right direction to be able to order the plugs and send me a link to Amazon where I should purchase the couple of plugs, she said she wouldn't and then took 15 minutes to explain to me the same thing she already said- Basically it's not their problem and just figure it out! Not the best customer service and as a business owner myself (services), I would never have treated my customers like this. I would have at least sent the link to my customer so that they could more easily purchase the missing plugs. And when I got upset because the owner, Christina, had offered to send me the link to the right place to purchase the plugs, she reneged and told me they could sense hostility in my voice and that this is not their problem. It makes me very sad to see local businesses that need referral business not even try to make the customer happy or feel supported. So with that, please be careful because if anything goes wrong with your installation, 617 Home Improvement is not going to help you. Instead they are going to lecture you about how you should be blaming the contractors or others for any mistakes. I kept telling them that I understood and really was just looking for a solution. Same answer- I am not going to provide you with a link to where you can purchase more plugs. This is not my problem. So so sad! Buyer beware!
